Luojing City, Princess Zhaoning’s Mansion.
The fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen is also about to leave the capital and go to Laizhou Mansion to explore the immortal ruins.
Princess Zhaoning is very worried about her ignorant brother.
She spent a whole night packing Xiao Shangzhen’s luggage and stuffed many magical weapons such as sky-breaking beads, glass bottles, green smoke armor, and golden fans into his packages; in addition, There are also about a dozen talismans and seals drawn by Master Zhang Daqi himself.
Before leaving, she kept telling Xiao Shangzhen in her ears: "Xiao Shangzhen, when you go to the Laoshan ruins this time, you must be very careful and don't be careless. I'll go with you. The young monks are all the proud ones of the Great Qi Dynasty, and their methods are bound to be endless. Although you are a member of the royal family and practice the "Tianlong Heart Sutra", a top skill in the country, and your qualifications are not bad, you are not as good as you. After all, those people have less practical experience. I am worried that you have been tricked by those people..." "Sister, why are you more verbose than the old lady who sews clothes?" Xiao Shangzhen was lying on the window sill. Go up, playing with the dust on the window lattice, frowning and saying, "You have told me these truths thousands of times, I have already remembered them in my heart, and I am tired of hearing them all."
"I'm not saying this because I'm worried about you!" Princess Zhaoning scolded her with a straight face, "You think you are great every day and never practice sword practice! Think about it, the last time you were there When the 'Lun Dao Realm' met that 'Suzaku', wasn't he beaten severely?"
"That's a special case!" Xiao Shangzhen still wanted to argue, "It's impossible. Everyone is like 'Suzaku', mastering techniques that are almost cheating like the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"!"
"Huh," Princess Zhaoning said coldly, "This time I'm going back to Laoshan! Young people are not mediocre people - even if they don't know the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", they must have other unique skills and can easily control you.
"By the way, according to the law. The information I got recently is that the 'Suzaku' is also going to the Laoshan ruins. "
"'Suzaku' is going too? "
Hearing Princess Zhaoning's words, Xiao Shangzhen immediately jumped down from the window sill, waved his fist and said: "I lost to him last time in the 'Realm of Taoism', this time I You must challenge him and get back the field with your own hands! "
Seeing her brother's appearance, Princess Zhaoning sighed helplessly again.
"I mentioned 'Suzaku' to you not to let you find a place, but I hope you can find a way to make friends with him. He is a genius that has not been seen for a hundred years in the Da Qi Dynasty. There is a high probability that he will rise to the top in the future and become a powerful practitioner and a powerful figure." She said patiently to her brother, "If you can take this opportunity to form a friendship with him, then In the future, he may become an important support for our siblings, and it will be extremely helpful for you to fight for the 'Tai'a Sword' and the right to inherit the throne in the future. "
Hearing the word "Tai'a Sword" from her sister again, Xiao Shangzhen felt quite unhappy. But forIn order to prevent his sister from nagging in his ears, he nodded slowly.
"Okay. Since you said so, sister, I will reluctantly accept a younger brother."
"By the way, Xiao Shangzhen, I have one more thing to warn you. "Princess Zhaoning paused for a moment, then said seriously, "After you go to Laizhou Mansion this time, you must not expose your code name in the 'Realm of Taoism' to anyone - just in case of the 'Shenji Camp' 'The other monks in the reserve know that the fourth prince of the Daqi Dynasty is a pervert who likes to pretend to be a woman and shout 'good brother', then our royal family will lose face."
"Sister, such a little boy. I’ll take care of things myself!”
“…”
Just like that, the two siblings talked to each other worriedly. He kept mumbling while the other nodded perfunctorily.
When the early morning sun climbed over the treetops, a eunuch wearing a dark blue brocade robe came to the princess mansion.
It was Cao Tong, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony.
Cao Tong is a fifth realm practitioner.
This time, Princess Zhaoning specifically entrusted him to send Xiao Shangzhen to Laizhou Mansion.
"This time, please leave it to Eunuch Cao!"
"I will live up to His Highness's trust!"
Afterwards, Xiao Shangzhen took Princess Zhaoning overnight The luggage prepared for him followed Cao Tong, stepped on the sword, rose into the air, and flew quickly toward the northeast.
Luo Jing City became smaller and smaller in his field of vision.
The biting cold wind howled past, making his cheeks hurt.
"'Suzaku', just wait," Xiao Shangzhen thought secretly in her heart, "This time, I will definitely not lose to you again!"
Princess Zhaoning Then he stood quietly at the door of the princess's house, watching his brother disappear into the sky with a "swish" like a flying bird, and he could no longer be seen.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her worried emotions.
"This time, with Eunuch Cao and Mr. Shi from Laizhou Mansion taking care of this kid, he should be fine..."
"I hope he can take advantage of this opportunity. , after all, it is related to whether he can come from behind, defeat his brothers, and win the 'Tai'a Sword'..."
"In addition, making friends with Yishui Gu Xu. This matter is also very important to us. In fact, I am very afraid that Xiao Shangzhen, an arrogant boy, will mess it up..."
"Maybe I will have to find a chance to meet Gu Xu when he comes to the capital next year. For a practitioner like Gu Xu who comes from a civilian background and lacks resources, as long as he is given sufficient conditions, he will definitely choose to help us..."
…………
Shu Land, Jiange.
Su Xiao was still standing on the top of the cliff, waving the wooden sword in his hand as always, practicing the seemingly simple sword moves one after another.
JustAt this time, a little Taoist boy hurried to his side and said to him: "Senior Brother Su, the Pavilion Master asked me to remind you that the Laoshan ruins will be opened soon, and the 'Shenji Camp' requires you to find Laizhou Prefecture Qian before tomorrow. Hu Shilei reports. Senior brother, please don’t forget this!”
“Yes.” Su Xiao’s words were as brief as ever.
After the Taoist boy left, Su Xiao put down the wooden sword in his hand, returned to the thatched cottage where he practiced and lived, and carefully took out a three-handed sword in a sheath from a wooden box. He has a long sword and wears it carefully on his waist.
Su Xiao is an ordinary-looking person.
This sword also has an ordinary-sounding name.
It's called the "Three-foot Sword".
For many years, this sword has never been unsheathed.
It’s not because Su Xiao is reluctant to use it.
It is because he has not yet encountered an opponent worthy of drawing his sword out of its sheath.
This made him feel disappointed and bored.
"I wonder if the 'Three-foot Sword' will have a chance to be unsheathed during this trip to Laoshan..."
He sighed softly.
Then, he stepped on the wooden sword, turned into a ray of blue light, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
…………
Luo Jing, the headquarters of the Exorcism Department.
Shangguan Jin was also preparing luggage overnight for the trip to Laoshan.
She not only carries many magic weapons.
At the same time, we are still trying our best to find all the information about Mount Laoshan, about Kongxuan Sanren, and about our fellow travelers, trying to use the magical power of "Heavenly Calculation" to calculate what will happen next, so as to prepare in advance.
At this moment, Chief Luochuan suddenly came to her.
"Shangguan Jin, when you go to Laoshan this time, I have something to do for you."
"What is it, Mr. Chief Secretary?"
< p>"Protect 'Suzaku'."
